Broadcaster Sile Seoige has opened up about the positives of overcoming cancer.

The former RTE chat show host (36) said that she doesn't associate any negativity with her thyroid cancer battle in xxxx.

"I'm healthier than ever now and it's like it never happened. It's not something that occupies my thoughts at all," she told the Irish Sun.

"In a way, it was a great thing to happen as it makes me more grateful for everything I have. I don't think anything negative about it. All it brought is positive - people who've been through serious illnesses will understand that."
